Ontology-Aided Business Rule Extraction Using Machine Learning |
摘要 |
An approach for distinguishing a business rule from a non-business rule in a computer program is provided. A rule in the program is identified based on a conditional statement within the rule. Whether the rule performs underlying operation of the program independent of a business function of the program is determined. The rule and metadata of the rule are searched for a key word which indicates part of a business transaction. Whether a sequence of program steps in the rule matches a predetermined sequence of program steps indicative of a business rule or whether the sequence of program steps in the rule matches a predetermined sequence of program steps indicative of underlying operation of the program independent of the business function of the program is determined. If the rule is a business rule is determined based on both determining steps and both searching steps. |

1. A method of distinguishing a business rule from a non-business rule in a computer program, the method comprising the steps of:
a computer identifying a first rule in the computer program based on a conditional statement within the first rule; the computer determining whether the first rule performs underlying operation of the program independent of a business function of the program; the computer searching the first rule for a key word which indicates part of a business transaction with a customer of a business using the computer program; the computer searching metadata of the first rule for a key word which indicates part of a business transaction with a customer of the business; the computer determining whether a sequence of program steps in the first rule matches a predetermined sequence of program steps indicative of a business rule or whether the sequence of program steps in the first rule matches a predetermined sequence of program steps indicative of underlying operation of the program independent of the business function of the program; and based on both determining steps and both searching steps, the computer determining if the first rule is a business rule. |
